Local Visibility Setup for local service businesses
Local Visibility Setup: a one-page website built to get you found and called.
Most of your work comes from someone searching, finding you, and picking up the phone. If what they find is a social page you stopped updating and a Google listing with the wrong hours, you are making it harder than it needs to be for them to choose you.
This is not a redesign and it is not a brand project. It is one page that says what you do, where you work, and how to reach you, plus a cleanup of your Google Business Profile so the two point at each other properly. For a local service business, those two things together give someone who finds you a much clearer path from search to phone call.
What you get
Two things, both done properly.
01
The page
- Your services, service area, and hours
- Your phone number, easy to tap on a phone
- A contact form that emails you
- Licensing, insurance, and certifications where you have them
- Basic page copy built from verified public research, your intake, and the facts and assets you provide
- Your project photos, reviews, social links, and frequently asked questions where they fit
- Built to work properly on a phone, which is where most people will see it
02
Your Google Business Profile
- Primary and secondary categories, services, hours, service area, phone, and contact details reviewed
- Description, attributes, photos, website connection, and relevant action links reviewed
- Supported social links and consistency between the profile and website checked
- A walkthrough of how to keep it current
Also included
- Your web address registered in your name, so you own it
- Hosting covered for the first year
- One round of changes before we go live
- Relevant online accounts connected where appropriate, so customers have a clearer path to contact you
- A local visibility baseline for important searches when current tools allow it
Not included
Additional pages, logo or brand design, photography, extensive custom copywriting, brand messaging work, long-form content, online booking or payments, and advertising or ongoing search marketing. Any of these can be quoted separately if you want them later.
What it costs
One price, and you own what you get.
$500 total
Full payment upfront is preferred. At minimum, 50% is due before work begins and the rest is due before your site goes live. If you need a web address, it is registered in your name, so you own it.
Hosting is covered for your first year. After that, hosting and basic managed-site maintenance are $250 a year and include one minor website update request each month, up to 30 minutes of work. Unused updates do not roll over. Additional minor requests are $75 each, up to 30 minutes. Larger changes are quoted separately. You can also take the site with you. You own your domain either way, and I will reasonably provide the site files and assets needed for transfer with no hostage-style fee attached.
How it works
About a week, start to live.
You send me what I need
A completed intake form, the facts and assets needed for the site, and manager access to your Google Business Profile. I use verified public research, your intake, and the information you provide to build the basic page copy. That access takes about a minute and I will walk you through it. You can remove my access at any time, I do not need your password, and I will never take ownership of your listing.
I build it
The five-business-day clock begins once I have the required upfront payment, completed intake, necessary business information and assets, and account access. If I am waiting on information, approval, assets, account access, or a decision from you, the clock pauses until I have what I need. When reasonably possible, please answer project questions or approval requests within about one business day so the project can keep moving.
You get one round of changes
Send one consolidated list of reasonable corrections or minor changes in writing after you see the draft. Writing it down is not me being formal. It is so you get exactly what you asked for and neither of us is working from memory a week later. Additional minor revision requests are $75 each, up to 30 minutes of work. Larger changes are quoted separately.
We go live
If life gets in the way and I have not heard from you in thirty days, I set the project aside and pick it back up whenever you are ready. If you later want to cancel managed hosting or move the site elsewhere, give me 30 days written notice. Your account needs to be current before transfer, and any outside registrar, hosting, migration, or vendor charges are your responsibility.
Straight answers
The questions owners actually ask.
Why only one page?
Because a second page rarely earns its keep for a local service business. Someone looking for you wants to know what you do, where you work, whether you are licensed, and how to reach you. That fits on one page, and a page that loads fast and answers everything beats five pages nobody scrolls.
I already have a Facebook page. Is that not enough?
Sometimes it is. A Facebook page does put your business inside someone else's product though, next to competitors and whatever the feed decides to show that day, and you do not control how it looks. If yours is genuinely bringing you work, keep it and save your money. If people find it and call someone else anyway, that is worth a look.
What if I do not have good photos?
Send what you have. Photos of your own finished work taken on a phone usually do more than a stock image of someone else's job. Up to eight is plenty. If you have none at all, say so and we will work out what the page can do without them.
Do I own it, or am I renting it from you?
You own it. Your web address is registered in your name, not mine. If you stop working with me you keep it. Give me 30 days written notice if you want to cancel managed hosting or move the site, keep your account current, and I will reasonably provide the files and assets needed for transfer. There is no hostage-style transfer fee. Any outside registrar, hosting, migration, or vendor charges are your responsibility.
What happens after the first year?
Hosting is covered for the first year. After that, hosting and basic managed-site maintenance are $250 a year and include one minor website update request each month, up to 30 minutes of work. Unused updates do not roll over. Additional minor requests are $75 each, up to 30 minutes. Larger changes are quoted separately. You can also take the site with you.
What do you actually need from me?
A completed intake form, the facts and assets needed for the site, and manager access to your Google Business Profile. I use verified public research, your intake, and the information you provide to build the basic page copy. That access takes about a minute and I will walk you through it. You can remove my access whenever you want, I do not need your password, and I will never take ownership of your listing.
What if I go quiet halfway through?
That happens and it is fine. If I have not heard from you in thirty days I set the project aside and pick it back up whenever you are ready. Your deposit stays on your account and does not expire.
I am not ready for a website. Can you just fix my Google listing?
Yes. That is a smaller piece of work on its own, $99, and it takes about forty five minutes. You get the same Google Business Profile cleanup described above: categories, services, hours, service area, description, attributes, photos, relevant links, and a walkthrough of how to keep it current.
If $500 is not the right move right now, starting with the Google listing is the smaller investment and fixes the information people see when they find you. It just does not give you the owned web presence or direct customer path the full setup does.
an honest note
How this fits with the rest of my work.
Most of what I do is diagnostic. I look at a business, work out what is creating friction, and hand back a plan you can act on. That work starts with a Business Reality Check, because recommending anything before understanding a business is guessing.
This is not that, and I am not going to pretend it is. Local Visibility Setup is a specific job with a fixed price and a defined finish: a one-page website and a Google Business Profile cleanup, built properly, on a standard five-business-day timeline. You do not need a diagnosis to know whether your phone number is easy to find.
If a bigger question comes up while we work together, we can talk about it separately and I will tell you honestly whether it is worth your money. If it does not come up, you do not need to buy anything else from me and I will not suggest that you do.
See how the diagnostic work is different if you want to understand the distinction before you decide.
ready when you are
Tell me about your business.
Send me what you do and where you work, and I will tell you straight whether Local Visibility Setup is the right thing for you right now. If it is not, I will say so.
